...The image fades in revealing a young, attractive human woman with
red-blonde hair sitting at what appears to be a news desk, though there is
no network or station symbols in the background. Clearly this is some sort
of Public Access broadcast. She is dressed in a conservative blouse, with a
peace sign pin attached.

"Good evening, I come to you tonight as a spokesperson for
_We_Are_All_Human_, a group dedicated protecting the rights of all
meta-human types and their Awakened derivatives. We have been watching with
some interest the recent good will that is growing between the peoples of
the Salish-Shidhe and Corporate Seattle. We find these developments to be a
positive step.

"However, we also deplore the fact that such reports cover up the fact that
not all meta-humans and derivatives are treated so well."

The womans face takes on an expression of outrage.

"How often have we all seen so-called Trolls and Orcs being denied access to
public places, merely because of their race. Or heard about vampires being
hunted down because of what they are, never taking into account _who_ they
are? We have heard that one such being is a doctor who is trying to better
the lives of those around him, yet he is still hunted by the _authorities_.

"It is a sad fact of this world that there are individuals out there who
will take any pretext to hate and discriminate against others. It has
always been the case the human beings fear what is different or strange.
It seems that more and more of what exists in this world is stranger and
stranger. So some fear and hesitancy are normal.

"What is frightening is the fact that some corporations exploit this fear
and prejudice to use the less "appealing" meta-types for twisted scientific
and pseudo-scientific experiments that often result in the maiming or death
of the subject. The corporations that do these heinous acts are often
shielded by their extraterritoriality. Or they merely "buy off" the
victim's family. Many Robustus and Ingentis come from low income families,
so the sums that are offered by the corporations are often quietly accepted.
After all, their children, siblings or spouses are already dead.

"We have uncovered evidence that Biotechnics, a firm with facilities all
over the globe, including several here in Seattle, is one of the worst
offenders in this area. We have evidence of numerous cases of Robustus and
Ingentis homo sapiens being abducted, taken to their facilities, never to
be seen again.

"We will no longer stand idly by while our brothers and sisters go to the
slaughter at the hands of Corporations that can only see people in terms of
the =Y= they can generate for them."

The image fades to black.

Briana, I just saw the tape of your broadcast. You were great!

"You think so? I was so nervous in front of the camera Paul. I thought I
was going to faint."

You did fine Bri. It was just perfect. I think you will be surprised at
how effective your speach was.

"I guess so. I'm not sure about the charges against Biotechnics though. We
still don't have evidence that would stand up in court."

Don't worry about it. We all know that they are guilty. We'll just have to
try and get the solid proof that we need. Sometimes the literal truth has
to take second place to what is right. You taught me that, remember?

"You're right Paul. I know you are, I was just so nervous. But it felt
right, ya know. Telling people about what is happening out there. I don't
think many realize the full extent of what the corporations are doing to us."

Well they know now. You did great. Let's get together for breakfast and we
can talk about how to follow up on this.

"Ok. Let's meet at Bosco's in about an hour."

Fine, I'll see you then.
